The GPS Shoe: An innovation for the common good

The CBS Morning Show GTX Corp, a company known for their GPS tracking technologies (many may recognize the GPS Tracking and iLoci Apps) has paired with Aetrex Worldwide (a foot health company) creating a GPS Shoe specifically for those with Alzheimer’s. The shoe uses GPS and cellular technologies. It gives a family member or a caregiver the option of monitoring real-time from the Internet or on your phone. Also, it has the capability to set up safe zones. If a patient wanders off from the area the caretaker will be sent an alert by phone or web. It charges off USB and is water resistant.
